I made an appointment for a test date, went to the bryson group (as part of its work its operates tech classes) sat the tests, it was marked after each test and the marks were submitted to the exam board. They contacted me two weeks later to come and collect my certificate

I dunno about the Bryson group but mines done and dusted anyway, they must of fast tracked your results or something...

that's a possibility as I know there was a few people on these boards that had appointments before me so the examiner knew the score. if thats the case i rate them more so now!

Hey guys and gals, was just wondering if you all thought whether there would be some sort of discrimination this time around now that 50/50 has been done away with. I know they shouldn't be allowed to do it but to keep the recommended level of 30% of RC's I'm sure they'll have to do something, maybe in a covert way. I know they were targeting people from they north west area but is this going to keep up the numbers?? Realistically there are going to be more non RC's applying which in turn means more chance for more non RC's to get in. (BTW I have no problem with that). It's just I would see a fall in the magic number over the next few years. ( I could be well wrong though) What do you think??

I don't think they can do anything to discriminate - just a targeted campaign.

That's not discrimination. It's wanting more applicants from that area. If they get the numbers of RCs applying up, they get more RCs in. Which seems completely fair to me. And honestly, yeah, it might fall a bit. All you have to do is witness the attitude of student age people I work in. But at the same time, I'm totally heartened by how many individuals sidle up and want to talk about recruitment, when their friends aren't with them.

But no, there won't be a stealth form of discrimination. With how heavily monitored it is these days, if you deserve to get in you'll get in.

I didnt make it through guys

:(:(:(:(:( could cry right now tbh!!!!!

I received my email whilst on holiday in Austrilia.. Made me sick reading it.

Well I have heard the fire service are recuiting next year so I have that to work towards. Still totally gutted.

Well done to everyone on here that progressed to the next stage..

Basically gave up on the idea that they might drop the pass mark by 1 today so started packing all my materials up for the next time, pretty disheartening to do!

Also I've heard that they may have a new campaign in 2014. With the process starting from square one again. I personally think this is highly unlikely but just wondering if anyone else has heard similar chat?

I was chatting to couple of people and they said 2014 for a new campaign too so fingers crossed for then Timetravel!

I think they are using this current recruitment campaign to fill the additional posts in 2014. Think the top 500 placed in merit list after AC and this to be used for the 100 jobs this year and then the rest to be used for the 378 or so needed next year.

Who knows what's going to happen but those that I was speaking with have been very well informed bout the campaign in the past about what is going to happen and they said 2014 will have a new one. Now that could mean next December or so still a year away but for those of us who didn't make it this time it gives a little hope!!

Good news if that is the case, considering AC only ends end feb and time for vetting, medicals, then 21 weeks at GV then December seems very feesible

Yeah if they use the same list for 2014 for the extra officers if funding is granted then a new campaign starting end of next year could happen by the time the whole process begins again you would be talking probably second half of 2015 for GV for the next recruits of a new campaign to go in so it could be possible and Deloitte were given a 3 year contract. Like I say who knows but these people were fairly sure another campaign in 2014 would happen.

nescafegold · 09-12-2013 10:00PM

Hey all, I just got confirmation from the recruitment team that us old schoolers with CCEA GCSE 'Information Systems' can use this as our ICT equivalent.

I know there was someone earlier in this or the other thread trying to figure this out, like me. Up until now the recruitment team were very non-committal. Also take note that they do not specify grade A-C for this one either, so a grade D (for example) is considered a 'pass' and enough to get through

Scii · 10-12-2013 10:47AM

Hi everyone, really needing help. I took the recent IST and was looking forward to obtaining my result, in the interim period between taking the test and the results being emailed to me.
O2 my email account provider has closed there email service and I can not access said it email account.
I email the company carrying out the recruitment on behave of the PSNI on the 26th of last month to advise of this but still have had no reply I used this email address.

info@joinpsni.co.uk

Now I am at a loss as what to do to obtain my result. Any help would be very much appreciated in this matter.

Thank you.

Phone them up immediately, if you have passed you may have missed your AC date. Do you still have your UID number?

You really should have made a more continuous effort nearer the time, for all you know your AC could have been last week!

I would find the number for Deloitte recruitment office in Belfast and i would also email them with URGENT in the email heading if you can't make verbal contact with them.

Scii · 10-12-2013 02:17PM

Thank you for your replies.
I noticed this on the 26th that O2 closed their email accounts. I looked for a contact number but was unable to find one. I emailed them immediately with urgent and my UID in the title. I did receive an automated response to not contact for ten working days and that my email would be dealt with in due course. I have email twice since then. Don't know what else to do.

Number you're looking for is on the right i believe!

:P

Homer01 · 10-12-2013 05:08PM

Provided you passed your IST I think Deloitte may not look favourably on this.

Just had a look re O2 emails. It says they shut down on 1st November so you might be in bother unless they are willing to resend your results.

Get yourself on Gmail; they are not transferring anywhere soon.
Hopefully you'll get sorted

JtmC · 10-12-2013 11:01PM

Hi all!

Have been a long time lurker on these boards. Forgive me for barging in

First applied to the PSNI way back before the recruitment gap. 2010 I think?

However the good news is this time around I passed the IST. I'll be joining those of you in the same boat for the assesment centre those who havn't already done it as of yet.

Best of luck to all.

DesertCreat_15 · 10-12-2013 11:07PM

Welcome !

When is your big day?

JtmC · 10-12-2013 11:13PM

AC due early January. Been doing a lot of reading and researching. It will be interesting to see what pops up on the day!

They don't make it easy lol.

You never know, this IT qualification mater could quickly disqualify alot of candidates.

Before I lost out on this campaign I thought myself that they would definitely use this merit list for the next few recruitment drives especially when they have specifically said that the merit list will last until March 2015. But on the other hand the tendor for the recruitment campaign that someone posted here about 6 months ago stated 1000 jobs within 3 years with an estimated budget of 5 million, so it wouldn't really make sense financially for them to only recruit from this batch of applicants. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, maybe it's not. god knows what will happen, I just wanted to share that info and see if anyone else heard the same.

This is taken directly from the psni website.

“Subject to securing additional funding, we hope to be able to appoint up to 378 further student officers from the merit pool of candidates generated by this recruitment campaign.” Deputy Chief Constable Gillespie said

Recruitment may be on the cards for a couple of years.

Toyota 1976 · 12-12-2013 11:12PM

sorry to hear that man i got caught out with ecdl, 2014 there is meant to be a new one around 9,000 applied apx

Toyota 1976 · 12-12-2013 11:22PM

new at this boards things i have heard loads of rumors some, they osni are looking i think for about 600 over the next three years, i think so it work out about 30 or so new officers every six months if logic is to be applied, as they are loads leaving, plus ones retring, sick leave medical leave, carrerr leave etc, all new can do is wait and see, also i did hear that the psni are meant to be holding two recuritments in one finicail year, ags are now looking for people i am to old, cuts can only go so far

soalpy · 14-12-2013 11:03AM

If people are being realistic, whoever is on this merit list will be the recruitment for all of 2014. There is no way after a three year freeze they will start having a fresh recruitment drive every 6months to a year. I think this is giving false hope for those who failed. I would say at least 2 years before another recruitment drive will take place. It's not cheap to process to process nearly 8,000 candidates

I don't mean to give false hope to people who have failed im just letting people know what i have heard. Even if it is false a little bit of hope to us that did fail is better than nothing!! Also i never said they would be recruited for 2014 i said i was informed that a campaign could happen at the end of 2014 for late 2015 intake. Like i said who knows what's going to happen lol

2013 Recruitment!
